This brand new tool from the PIVATS team contains examples of PIVATS assessments with a commentary and supporting evidence so that teachers can ensure that there is consistency and reliability in their judgements.
The tool comes in two parts - a hard copy folder and a cd rom.
To view example pages from the CD version please select the 'Samples' page.
"When evaluating pupils’ achievement, inspectors should evaluate the school’s arrangements for ensuring the accuracy of its pupil performance data as there is no statutory moderation of P scales and this can lead to misinterpretation.
There should be rigorous moderation arrangements within school and across a local authority to assure the accuracy of the progress data being used by the school."
